How to use

To use the Makita D-73667, securely mount the wire wheel brush onto your angle grinder according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the guard is properly positioned for safety. Start the grinder and apply light, even pressure to the surface you wish to clean. Allow the tips of the wires to do the work rather than forcing the brush into the material, as this ensures a more uniform finish and extends the life of the accessory.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the spindle size of your angle grinder matches the brush mounting requirements
• Ensure you have appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and face protection
• Check that the maximum RPM rating of the brush is compatible with your angle grinder

Usage recommendations

Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and a dust mask during operation. Avoid applying excessive pressure, as this can cause the wires to bend or break prematurely. Regularly inspect the brush for signs of wear or damaged wires before each use.
